Photographers Comments
Another of the rather unusual beach items on my walk under the cliffs at Minster Leas. Some of the houses and what used to be pathway, are in pieces along the beach at this point too. Makes for interesting searching for shots. Not sure if this works, happy for all comments and crit.x

Nice lighting and composition a beach scrap yard very good. Love the colours of the rust nice and sharp the angle of the axle leads across the shot very nice indeed. It appeals to my eye.

Hi Lorraine, Well spotted, I can even see another axle in the background. Image is nice and sharp on the wheel with good texture in the tire. I think this one might work better in monochrome, although I do like the red rust against that black tire.

Thanks boys, glad you like it. Tried hard to see things differently today and look for unusual bits to see what did or didn't work. There's everything from the boat wrecks, axels, chunks of brick wall, quite the obstacle course, but not many people venture that far along - probably think it's too dodgy lol

Will have a go at B&W as still learning on that one.

Well spotted Loopy and well captured. I would maybe lose the sky though:-)

Heys there Lorraine - hope you don't mind but I had a little play with your image

You had a cracking image to begin with, but I did a little hdr on it and some ps work. Again I hope you don't mind

Hi Mark, and no, of course I don't mind, helps me to see what is possible. Thank you, it certainly does have a bit more "zing"

Hi Lorraine; i agree with the others plenty texture colour right down to the pebble details; sorry Mark but prefer the original shot; well captured.
